Chapter 1177 The Corpse Thief (12)
Buzz!
The dark earth trembled silently.
The soft and fine soil layer floating on it, like incense ash, gathered towards the gully that shrank back into the scarlet giant tongue in the trembling of the earth, causing the deep gully to slowly close.
Su Wu, Hei Nuo Taishangye, and Li Heihu turned around at the same time to look at the gully that closed up in an instant, leaving only a thin crack.
At the moment they turned around, the thin crack would also be closed!
"It's okay." Su Wu said indifferently, and stretched out a finger - a thin red flame net like a gossamer was wrapped around his finger, and the flame net meandered into the darkness here, hooking into the completely closed Yin soil layer on the other side.
Su Wu walked over, and reached into the shadows of bizarre lights and claws with his other hand, and directly "fished out" a Fang Tian Hua Ji from the shadows. The fierce and strange killing law aura lingered and spread around, and the strange figures lurking in the darkness all retreated at this moment, no longer daring to hide in the dark and spy on Su Wu and his party!
Swish!
The Fang Tian Hua Ji approached the Yin soil layer that had completely closed and disappeared all traces!
The soil layer trembled more violently!
The Yin soil, like incense ash, retreated in all directions under the pressure of the cold and piercing breath like ten thousand years of black ice. The gully covered by this layer of Yin soil was revealed again in front of Su Wu and the other two.
The red mist flowed in the gully, covering the things in the gully, and the strong smell of blood and rot drifted out from the rolling mist.
Su Wu glanced at the trembling flame net silk extending into the depths of the red fog, and jumped directly into the gully with the Fang Tian Hua Ji in hand.
Hei Nuo Taishangye followed closely behind.
Li Hei Hu saw this and hurriedly jumped into the gully. As soon as he jumped into the gully, a gust of scarlet wind rolled and swept towards him.
In the bloody wind, the skeletons wielded sickles and iron swords, appearing and disappearing from time to time!
Woo——
The wind was blowing!
In the swirling red fog in all directions, bloody arms and white hand bones stretched out one after another, suddenly pulling Li Hei Hu's clothes, causing his figure to suspend in mid-air!
Looking at the bloody wind rolling over, Li Hei Hu's eyes condensed, and he instantly held the Black Di Zang in his hand!
Huuuuuuuu!
The evil wind rushed towards him, and the white skeletons in the sky waved their weapons to cut all over Li Heihu's body!
He held the eight-foot Miao Dao in both hands, and his mind shifted. The Miao Dao in his hand expanded into a python dragon with bone spurs and sickles. The python dragon swam around Heihu's body, and the evil wind that rushed towards him was chopped to pieces, and the white skeleton arms that grabbed Heihu's body were also cut off!
Wow!
The broken bones transformed into a burst of extremely smelly pus and blood, pouring down on Li Heihu!
Li Heihu pulled out a wooden sword with his other hand, and iron feathers covered his body.
Countless iron feathers were woven into an iron feather raincoat, which completely isolated the pus and blood that were pouring in!
"Stop playing."
At this time, Su Wu's voice came from the red fog.
Along with his voice, a strand of red flame suddenly penetrated the red fog and wrapped around Li Heihu's waist. The strand of red flame took Li Heihu back to Su Wu's side.
A gatehouse that was more than a hundred feet high, and even the eaves pierced through the dark sky, stood in front of Su Wu, Li Heihu, and Hei Nuo.
The vermilion lacquered courtyard walls on both sides of the gatehouse were also high into the clouds.
The flame net thread on Su Wu's finger swam into the high gate and deep courtyard that could not be seen at a glance.
Under the towering gatehouse, there were several strings of red lanterns hanging down.
Those red lanterns were spinning in the cold wind. Li Heihu was distracted for a moment, and he felt that the strings of red lanterns hanging from the eaves of the gatehouse seemed to have turned into women's heads with disheveled hair. Blood was flowing from the eyes, ears, mouths and noses of the heads, and the surrounding darkness was red. When he came to his senses, those women's heads turned into lanterns emitting lively red light.
This strange situation made Hei Hu alert. He looked up at Su Wu who was also observing the gatehouse.
"There is only one house of this size in this gully.
Hei Hu's Hanba body was favored by the owner of the house, which was not a waste of it.
- How can we get into the gatehouse now?
At least the owner of the house has to discuss it with us - it took it without permission, it was basically stealing..." Su Wu frowned and shook his head, very dissatisfied with the owner's behavior.
Hei Nuo listened to Su Wu's words, looked up at the gatehouse that was almost so high that it pierced the sky, and said: "Building such a gatehouse that touches the sky and such a high courtyard wall, it is impossible for outsiders to climb over it.
The owner of the house clearly does not want outsiders to visit. It can go out and steal things from other people's homes, but others cannot enter its door to ask it for compensation.
-This is an 'unreasonable door' and a 'high and difficult to cross wall'.
By building such a house and courtyard, it does not want outsiders to visit at all.
It is impossible for us to enter the door in a normal way."
Hei Nuo paused, turned to Su Wu and bowed, saying: "Master, now the only way to go is to break the door and chisel the wall!"
"Okay."
Su Wu nodded in agreement.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand suddenly turned into a giant axe - the scales of calamity that covered Su Wu's body suddenly turned into a vast sea of calamity, and a blood-red figure swam out from the vast sea of calamity, clinging to Su Wu's arm, dyeing his entire arm blood-red. This arm, like a blood-stained arm, holding the fierce and strange axe, suddenly expanded like a mountain - the mountain-like arm held the Gan Qi, swung his arm, and chopped the towering black gate with an axe!
Boom!
Under the axe, the towering gatehouse like a mountain suddenly trembled!
Countless cracks burst out in all directions like a spider web with the location of the axe as the center, and instantly spread to cover the surrounding high walls - as Su Wu suddenly retracted his arm, the towering gatehouse and the red lacquer high wall suddenly collapsed!
Behind the high wall!
There is no trace of pavilions, corridors and high houses.
There was only a pool of blood that covered the courtyard wall, and the walls just surrounded this huge pool of blood.
In the pool of blood, there were many corpses that were either rotten, intact, or with only bones left - the more intact corpses were mostly wearing clothes from the Qing Dynasty and had pigtails;
The corpses that had turned into skeletons were mostly wearing tattered skirts, which were clothes from the Han Dynasty.
Li Heihu also saw several corpses in the pile of corpses that were not dressed like modern people or ancient people. The clothes on those corpses were completely different from the various clothes that had been passed down from ancient times.
He saw a woman among them, wearing a satin-like skirt, and her legs under the skirt were wrapped in a thin layer of "pants" that were as light as mist.
The corpse of this woman was the most complete, and almost kept the appearance before death.
Su Wu's eyes also fell on the female corpse wearing a dress and black stockings.
When he had previously ‘passed through the underworld’, he had also seen a strange monster dressed as a real person, appearing in the underworld. Now he once again saw the corpse of a real person appearing in the underworld.
Is this female corpse really from the real world?
Or is there another reason?
The rancid blood mist was steaming above the blood pool, and in the rolling mist, a huge bed that was dozens of feet long and wide was floating in the blood mist.
The flame net filaments wrapped around Su Wu’s fingertips went straight through the blood mist, involving the huge bed covered by the bed curtain made of thick blood mist!
The ‘old sacrificial eyes’ squeezed out from Su Wu’s eyebrows in an instant, and the three pupils in it gathered into one, casting their eyes on the huge bed, through the bed curtains that were still wrapped with blood veins and looked like human skin, and saw the scene on the bed -
A swollen female corpse, whose body almost covered the huge bed, was lying on the huge bed!
The 'Hanba body', which was entangled by the flame net, was now lying in the abscess that had broken open on the belly of the female corpse, and was slowly infected by the green pus, and slowly 'melted' into the belly of the female corpse!
"This is the 'corpse of the thief'."
At the moment when Su Wu opened his 'old sacrificial eyes', the Black Nuo Master saw the swollen female corpse on the bed curtain with the help of his eyes. He said: "The underworld has always been mysterious, and no one has ever explored its secrets.
Those who walk into the underworld, or those who 'slip' into the underworld for various reasons, will first turn their bodies into 'untransformed corpses' under the long-term torture of the underworld's breath, and the 'untransformed corpses' will never decay and disappear. .
Most of these untransformed corpses will be transformed into "Yin Corpses" - this kind of Yin Corpses also have various effects. For Hanlei Gongjiao, Yin Corpses are also the best materials for nurturing "Hanba".
But obtaining Yin Corpses is much more difficult than obtaining the netherworld soil.
For most Hanlei Gongjiao disciples, using Yin Corpses to refine Hanba is just an unattainable dream.
Only those high-ranking sects have mastered the method of "fishing Yin Corpses". They have found the overlap between reality and the netherworld. Some cracks and ‘dog holes’ can be used to fish for Yin corpses from the underworld.
Under the influence of the breath circulating in the underworld, not only the flesh of living people can be turned into Yin corpses.
Some people with great cultivation have been trapped in the underworld for a long time and cannot escape. Their nature will gradually be infected by the breath of the underworld. All kinds of memories of their past and their temperaments will be gradually polished away by the breath of the underworld in this process. Then, they will each have some kind of obsession - obsessed with stealing and seizing all kinds of different evil spirits.
The evil spirits they like often cannot be affected by the law of death.
Because they are dead things, there is no so-called ‘death’...”
The explanation of the ‘corpse of the thief’ by the Black Nuo Grand Master made Su Wu suddenly think of the ‘weird messenger’ he had encountered before - the weird messenger also has a strong suppressive power over many evil spirits!
Is it transformed from the ‘corpse of the thief’?
